My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride Chapter 136

Not long after Victor left, Rachel heard the doorbell ring.

Originally thinking he left something behind, she opened the door, only to see a courier.

“Ms. Rachel Hudson?”

‘Thank you.

‘You’re welcome. Are you free? I just finished work; come down for a walk with me!
